Monarchs arriving in the Kawarthas

Published by Drew Monkman on

I had my first Monarch of the year today, June 7, at about 12 noon. It was flying over a field on the north side of Round Lake Road, about 1 km east of County Road 46. Round Lake Road is located about six kilometres north of Havelock. Rick Stankiewicz had his first Monarch yesterday,June 6th.  It flew across his yard at 10 Hazel Cres. in OSM Township near Keene.
